Right-wing politics

Was I disappointed with my former employer's decision, and how their statement almost painted me as some sort of violent person? Absolutely. Was it a spineless decision, in my opinion? Definitely. And was there irony in the fact that I was fired in order to appease a group of people, most of whom had never even heard of the company, and were never going to support them anyway,

As President Donald Trump's approval numbers continue to plummet-he's now clocked his first-ever majority of male poll respondents giving a thumbs-down-he's reached for the pet crusade of all right-wing demagogues losing public favor: a culture war against the press. Over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the Trump White House debuted its media bias tracker -a laundry list of alleged press outrages committed against the righteous, truth-telling MAGAfied executive branch.

It's more accurate to say that Marine Todd, as a conservative figure of fantasy and the beefy personification of a foundational urge that runs through that movement, is both very old and very current. That fantasy is about violence, but it is also about impunity—"God was busy protecting America's military," Todd tells his professor, once he comes to, "who are out protecting your right to say stupid shit like that, so he sent me to fill in."

We wanted to have four, Kirk said. And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered. Oh, wow. I thought of that once, Kelly said. Whether it was meant to be or whether we'd get news like that. I know, Kirk said while dabbing her eyes. I was like, oh, goodness, that was going to be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe.

"The popularity of YouTube podcasts among conservatives is driving a boom in small businesses tailoring ads to their millions of listeners, paying hosts like Joe Rogan and Candace Owens to read out promotions in the hope that fans will place orders. The phenomenon has enriched both the hosts and YouTube, supporting further growth of the businesses using ideology to sell."

When you have top podcasters saying Jewish Americans are disloyal, saying Trump is controlled by Jews, saying Jews need to self deport to Israel, Gen Z glorifying Hitler and doing Seig Hiels all over Tik Tok, @TuckerCarlson infiltrating movements to say the people who killed Jesus killed Charlie Kirk at Charlie's memorial, and acceptance of videos portraying Jews as cockroaches,

Republican U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana, the lone member of Congress to vote against release of the files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has a long record of anti-LGBTQ+, anti-immigrant, and racist stances. Higgins said he voted against the bill ordering release because innocent people would be injured by revelation of their names and personal information. However, "survivors' personal information and other sensitive material can be withheld or redacted with explanations to Congress," CBS News notes.

Jon Stewart joked Trump "already has the merch," referring to a red "Trump 2028" cap. Steve Bannon keeps teasing "a plan" to keep Trump in office. The Russian dissident and former chess champion Garry Kasparov warns of democracy's demise. It's a perfect storm of satire, conspiracy, and clickbait, but none of it adds up to a third term for Donald Trump.

If there was a single moment that signaled the curtain closing on Sen. Chuck Schumer's era at the helm of the Democratic Party, it most certainly occurred in New York City on Tuesday, November 4, when the upstart Zohran Mamdani decapitated the Democratic machine and handed New York's former Gov. Andrew Cuomo the most devastating loss of his career. Mamdani's ascent had to have been startling for Schumer, who has

Eh, millions of people that follow you. What does that mean? I mean, do they go out and Sieg Heil? I mean, come on. I got two kids in their 20s. They don't have anything to do with this guy. They know who he is. I just don't see it as a social problem. Now, maybe it will develop into one, but I doubt it. The problem is exploiting a guy like Fuentes. Now there you get into, Well, if I put him on the show, I'm gonna get high ratings. Most American broadcasters will not do that. They won't. And it's not that they're so noble, it's just that their corporate masters go, No, you're not putting that guy on. Now, I'm an independent, right? I won't put him on because I don't want to insult my audience.

So were all of the 7/7 bombers. It takes more than a piece of paper to make somebody British.

Even after decades of mass immigration from the Global South, the red team has remained overwhelmingly white. Trump's voters in 2024 were 84 percent white, according to the comprehensive AP VoteCast survey of 120,000 voters. That's not much more diverse than Mitt Romney's 88 percent in 2012. Romney, you may remember, was hammered in the media for not winning minorities.

Taft's critique centered on a bedrock legal principle: ex post facto law. The charges brought at Nuremberg-particularly "crimes against peace" and "conspiracy to wage aggressive war"-were not established crimes under international law when the defendants allegedly committed them. The tribunal represented victor's justice dressed in legal robes, establishing retroactive criminality to punish the vanquished. As Taft argued in an October 1946 speech, "The trial of the vanquished by the victors cannot be impartial no matter how it is hedged about with the forms of justice."

Minadeo, who grew up in Marin and Sonoma counties, has spent years promoting antisemitic propaganda through the Goyim Defense League a loose network the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as one of the country's most prolific distributors of hate literature. He was previously arrested in Poland for demonstrating outside the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, sentenced to 30 days in a Florida jail on a littering charge after throwing antisemitic flyers onto people's properties, and was banned from Bibb County, Georgia, after a disturbance at a synagogue.
